FIELD OF THE ART

The present invention refers to the technology of equipment, applied tooperating machines provided with hydraulic or electric plant, and inparticular to the buckets of the loading and digging machines. Theinternational classification of reference is E 01 C.

STATE OF THE ART

Machines to crush stones or different kinds of debris are known. Theproblem to be solved is that of equipping operating machines of smalldimensions with buckets provided with rotating crushing devicesactivated by engines hydraulic or electric gear motors fed by thehydraulic or electric circuit resting inside operating machines oroutside the bucket.

DESCRIPTION

The invention is now disclosed with reference to the figures of theattached drawings, as unrestrictive example.

FIG. 1 shows schematically in a transversal section a bucket (B) insidewhich there is at least one rotor (R) provided with a crushing blade (L)that interacts with the fixed plates (F) applied inside the bucket. Itcan be noticed the presence of the upper feed opening (A) and of thelower emptying out mouth (S).

FIG. 2 shows schematically in a transversal section a bucket (B) insidewhich there is a rotor (R) provided with two crushing blades (L′) thatinteract with the fixed blades (F′).

FIG. 3 shows schematically in a transversal section a bucket with therotor provided with three crushing blades (L″) that interact with fixedblades (F″) that are especially shaped.

FIG. 4 shows schematically in transversal section a bucket with therotor provided with four crushing blades (L′″) that interact with thematching fixed plates (F′″).

FIG. 5 shows a bucket (B) during the crushing operation of the variousmaterial and the emptying out of the resulting debris.

FIG. 6 shows schematically in section a bucket (B) provided with anupper lid (K) closing the feeding opening and a lid (H) closing theemptying out mouth.

FIG. 7 shows an operating machine (T) equipped with a bucket (B) inloading position.

FIG. 8 shows an operating machines (T) provided with a bucket (B) in theposition of crushing the previously loaded material.

FIG. 9 shows an operating machine (T′) with the bucket (B), workingtowards the operating machines, in operating position of crushing thepreviously loaded material.

FIG. 10 shows an operating machine (T′) equipped with the bucket (B)that works in the opposite direction.

FIGS. 11 a, 11 b, 11 c, 11 d and 11 e show some examples of differenttype of crushing blades located on the rotor in a different number anddifferent fashion.

FIG. 12 shows schematically in plant the bucket (B) equipped with arotor (R) provided with crushing blades (L) interacting with theirrespective fixed plates (F). It can be noticed that the rotor (R) isactuated by two engines or by two hydraulic or electric rotors (M, M′),both inside the body of the bucket (B).

FIG. 13 shows schematically the application of two motors or rotors (M,M′) outside the body of the bucket (B).

FIG. 14 shows schematically the application of a single engine or rotor(M) inside the bucket (B).

FIG. 15 shows schematically the application of a single engine or rotor(M) outside the bucket (B).

FIG. 16 shows schematically a bucket equipped internally with two rotors(R, R′).

FIG. 17 a, 17 b, 17 c, 17 d show schematically a bucket whose fixedplates are respectively replaced by a flat surface, or by a shapedsurface, or by a cylindrical surface, or by different shapes, eitherfixed, moving or rotating.

The clearness of the figures highlights the executive and operativesimplicity of the present invention, which wholly solves all thetechnical problems ensuring a security and total functioningreliability, coupled with a extreme affordability in the practicalrealization.

Now that the original inventive features of the present invention havebeen disclosed, any average technician skilled in this specifictechnological field will be able to realize, with simple logicaldeductions and without any inventive effort, buckets that areinterchangeably applicable to operating machines provided with hydraulicor electric plant, that rests either inside of the machine ornonetheless outside the bucket, that will present the very originalfeatures of the present invention as so far described, illustrated andhereinafter claimed.

1. A bucket (B) that is applicable interchangeably to operating machinesprovided with hydraulic or electric plant, equipped with a single rotor(R) upon which blades (L) are applied, which interact with fixed plates(F), said rotor being actuated by one or more hydraulic or electric (M)engines or gear motors fed by the hydraulic or electric circuit restinginside operating machines or outside the bucket.
 2. A bucket (B) that isapplicable interchangeably to operating machines, as in claim 1, whereinthe bucket present a special opening (S) for the emptying out of thedebris (D) resulting from the crushing of the material loaded inside thebucket (B).
 3. A bucket (B), as in claim 1, wherein the size and shapeof the debris (D) of the crushed material can be varied or regulated bychanging the position, the morphology and the dimensions of the crushingor cutting tools, either fixed or rotating.
 4. A bucket (B), as in claim1, wherein the blades (L) are especially located and different innumber, placement, dimension and geometric shape.
 5. A bucket, as inclaim 1, wherein said blades (L) interact with fixed or mobile plates(F) especially shaped and interchangeable, also to vary and regulate thecomposition of the crushed material.
 6. A bucket, as in claim 1, whereina motor or the motors (M) are applied externally or inside the bucket.7. A bucket, as in claim 1, wherein an upper opening (A) for the openingof the bucket can be closed with a lid (K) to improve the safetyconditions or to intervene actively on the work process.
 8. A bucket, asin claim 1, wherein a mouth to empty out (S) the crushed material can beclosed with a cover (H) to optimize the operating conditions during themovements of the operating machines.
 9. (canceled)
 10. A bucket, as inclaim 1, wherein plates (F) can be made of surfaces that are eitherflat, shaped, cylindrical, and also fixed or mobile, moving or rotating.11. An interchangeable bucket for crushing stones with hydraulic orelectric plant operating machines comprising: a bucket adapted to beattached to the hydraulic or electric plant operating machine; aplurality of matching fixed plates attached to an interior surface ofsaid bucket; a rotor placed within said bucket; a plurality of crushingblades attached to said rotor, said plurality of crushing bladesinteracting with said plurality of matching fixed plates; and ahydraulic or electric motor coupled to said rotor and fed by a hydraulicor electric circuit resting inside said operating machine; whereby saidbucket is applicable interchangeably to operating machines provided withhydraulic or electric plant.
